Texas Oil Fire
1938

A vivid watercolor painting depicting a dramatic industrial scene with a large fire and billowing smoke rising from the ground near oil derricks. A lighthouse stands on a hill in the background, overlooking the scene. In the foreground, a dirt road curves past some industrial silos and power lines, with a couple of discarded barrels lying on the ground. The sky is a mix of blue and the dark gray of the smoke. The edges of the paper are frayed, indicating age.
